This ROLEX 5508 ROLEX SUBMARINER EXCLAMATION DIAL dates to 1962. This completely original glossy black dial is the finest and rarest version we've ever found! Notice the extremely RARE and original exclamation (dot at 6:00). The luminous markers and hands are original to the watch and have never been re-touched. The dial is in fabulous condition, with only a minor scratch above the 100m. that only appears more at an angle. The long scratch in my photo is a mark on the crystal only...now removed. This dial is beautiful! Notice the two tone gold and silver gilt printing. The case is also in excellent condition with all engravings, model and serial numbers being legible and clear and NOT polished through the years. The bezel is original, faded, having a diamond added where the dot at 12:00 (usually) goes missing. The crystal is the rare and original DOMED style. The very fine riveted bracelet is a correct style to the watch and dates to 1965. This is a serious ROLEX collectors' watch that will continue to appreciate in value. $17,500. Bankwire please.

Here is a rare 1940's 21x42mm. Canadian version ROLEX STANDARD with a completely original Art Deco two-tone dial and blued steel hands! The gold filled ID case is a drivers' style and is original to the watch. The signed ID cases were used by ROLEX and cased in Canada to circumvent import duties. When we found this watch the case was badly worn, so. we had it re-plated to perfection. The original caliber 59 movement was just cleaned and is accurate... signed "ROLEX" under the dial as it should be. This original dial and rare drivers' style case really looks spectacular! Only $1950.

Usually, when we find these ROLEX STANDARD vintage Canadian ROLEX watches, they are quite worn-the cases "brassed out" and the dials heavily stained. We try to leave them ALL original; however, we've tried and nobody buys them! This was another! We had the original Driver's style case gently hand polished, just to remove the grime. There is very mild brassing which is BARELY visible on the wrist. We completed a full dial restoration, whilst maintaining the original and raised stylized numerals. The hand, filigree carved, gold filled, ID signed, driver's style case couldn't be any more "vintage" in appearance! The Blued steel hands are original. The tiny mark on the crystal in the picture has been removed. This ROLEX watch is NOT small and is an
easy-to-read size. These cases were not signed ROLEX; as they
were Canadian made for ROLEX in order to circumvent import duties.
They are COMPLETELY CORRECT and original. The correct and
original ROLEX, manual winding movement is the modified caliber
59 signed (correctly) ROLEX under the dial.
These Canadian version ROLEX STANDARD watches are becoming
EXTREMELY difficult to find. Many are damaged beyond repair (water...etc.) Many collectors are simply keeping
them! It is a treat to find a ROLEX STANDARD in such an eccentric case! Only $1695.

This
is an extremely rare 1940's French cased ROLEX in solid 18k. rose gold. The case is completely correct and unsigned as cases were in the WW2 era due to Frances' rule of not allowing any finished gold cases to enter the country. This is why we see the odd and rare French hallmarked cases from this era. The 34mm. rose gold case with stepped bezel is a reference 9353 and is in very fine condition overall, with only the slightest ding in the bezel. This case is a non-Oyster snap back, making it even a rarer bird. Notice the dial is just signed ROLEX PERPETUAL, to reflect upon the non-oyster case. This dial is completely original, never restored in any way and retains the original triangular rose arrow markers and Dauphine, pitched hands. The A.296 bubbleback movement is marked 15375 and F64052 and has just been cleaned and overhauled. We are pricing this rare ROLEX watch very, very well at $4950. Bankwire please.

The manual winding ROLEX movement was just cleaned and is accurate. These early military watches are becoming VERY difficult to find as of late, because collectors are simply keeping them in their collections. Only $2450.

This
vintage, all original and correct 1942 ROLEX AVIATORS watch
named the "ROLEX SKYROCKET" was produced for Canadian
soldiers going overseas in WW2 and was marketed towards fighter
pilots. The
original, and very clean 29.5mm. gold plated case with original
dust proof winding crown, stepped bezel, made by ID case
company for ROLEX is in very fine condition after an expensive re-plating. Many of these contract cases made by ID and PIONEER were NOT signed ROLEX, as ROLEX commissioned ID an PIONEER case company to produce their cases in CANADA to circumvent import duties. These ROLEX SKYROCKET watches were ALL small in stature, so, please
don't buy it if you don't want a smaller sized watch. They
were likely made smaller do reduce the chance of damaging them. The original dial on this SKYROCKET has very mild and usual
ageing, lending to its' authenticity and vintage appeal. Notice
the red, 24 hour register, original, radium, blued steel
hands and sweep-seconds. The manual winding caliber 59 ROLEX
movement (correctly signed ROLEX under the dial) is sparkling
and keeping accurate time after a recent cleaning by our watchmaker.
We simply are not seeing these watches appear as of
late. Most ROLEX SKYROCKET dials have been refinished, which greatly reduces
their value. Only $1595.

Here
is a very uncommon reference 5701, ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL
AIR KING DATE PRECISION dating to 1968. These AIR KING DATES
are the "hot ROLEX watch" at this time. This is
an uncommon variety of AIR KING that was sold mainly in Canada

KINGS do not have the date. The 35mm. stainless steel
case is gleaming after a full and expensive overhaul by our
watchmaker. This is a two-tone version; having the
solid gold bezel and winding crown. The crystal is (new)...perfect...(scratch

This is a rare CANADIAN version ROLEX EXPLORER SUPER-PRECISION dating to 1959. These ROLEX watches are commonly referred to as the "Dress Explorers"; as they have a gold bezel and winding crown. The correct reference 5501 stainless steel ROLEX OYSTER case dates the watch to 1959. As many know the reference 5500 (steel) and 5501 (two-tone) also appear in the ROLEX AIR-KING line of watches from the same era. The EXPLORER versions are (of course) much rarer of the two types. The case on this EXPLORER measures 34mm. and houses a recently cleaned and overhauled (reliable) caliber 1530, rotor, automatic winding movement; which is keeping accurate time. The "bulls-eye" dial on this EXPLORER is evenly aged; but, looks much more subtle on the wrist, than in the detailed, close-up pictures. We would not want to refinish this dial, as these EXPLORERS are rare enough to find as it is! If you don't mind an original, vintage look; then, this EXPLORER will be a treat for your eyes! The original raised gold markers and original Dauphine hands with sweep second complete the look. This watch retains the original and nostalgic "25 year service" inscription from Metropolitan stores (in Canada) on the case rear. Again, we do not remove these, in order to keep the watch all original. We have priced this ROLEX EXPLORER 5501 VERY WELL at only $2495!

Here
is a 34mm., solid 14k. gold, rare, Eaton's Quarter century club
ROLEX dating to 1954! These watches were given to employees
of the Canadian Department store "EATONS" for 25
years of service and were contracted by ROLEX to produce for
EATONS. This particular model is a manual winding reference
6222 solid gold ROLEX OYSTER case... glistening condition...
no dings or scratches, along with the elaborate inscription
on the rear. These were amongst the only ROLEX watches produced
and allowed by ROLEX to appear without the name ROLEX on the
dial. This watch also retains the original ROLEX winding crown.
The movement is the original 17 jewel ...(just
fully cleaned and serviced keeping excellent time. This dial
with applied letters is pristine.... one of the finest we
have encountered in a manual wind...original Dauphine style
hands and sweep seconds. This watch was fully serviced and
overhauled and will provide many years of reliable timekeeping.
These 1/4 century ROLEX are true investment watches that will
only increase in value! Only $2950 for a solid gold ROLEX!

This
vintage, all original and correct 1942 ROLEX OYSTER ROYALITE is quite rare, having an ORIGINAL and VERY clean glossy black dial with gold gilt seconds/minute track, luminous, Arabic markers and silver gilt lettering. Please note...this crystal is scratched. A brand new crystal will be installed prior to shipping. The original pencil hands are also intact. This dial is simply stunning and QUITE rare to find! The original reference 4220 stainless steel boy's size ROLEX OYSTER case is scratchless and measures a smaller 30mm., which was the normal size for these vintage military ROLEX. These watches were marketed and sold to Canadian soldiers going overseas in WW2 and sold in the military PX stores in the 1940's. The original OYSTER patent winding crown screws down like silk. This is an important military ROLEX that will certainly enhance any collection of vintage watches! I cannot stress how important and rare these black and complicated ROLEX dials are to find! $2195.

the original and usual (smaller sized) 2957

OYSTER, cushion case that is gleaming! There
are some usual marks on the case back...nothing
detracting. This rare OYSTER even retains its'
original lead gasket! Please keep in mind; these
boy's size OYSTERS in this cushion case do look
larger on the wrist than the regular and more
common "circular" cases. This complicated
silver dial is completely original; having Arabic
numerals with blued steel hands and sub-seconds
register with concentric circles. The original
ROLEX, winding crown is also intact. The movement
is a high quality, ROLEX, 17 jewel with 10 1/2

amongst the rarest watch found in the series
of OYSTER watches and is one of the most desirable.

polar expeditions, including the first successful
ascent of Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953.
This is the first watch ROLEX produced with
the name EVEREST on the dial. This
is an important, rare and early OYSTER EVEREST
dating to 1940 that simply does not come to
market. We bought this well and are selling it VERY low @ $3495.

This
30.5mm all original and correct, 1940's stainless steel OYSTER JUNIOR SPORT is becoming harder and harder to find!
Made by ROLEX for the Canadian market only; these watches
were sold at PX military stores in WW2 to soldiers going overseas.
The smaller case size made them less apt to get damaged during battle. This case is the rarer variety; having a rounded, convex bezel and has not been polished to retain originality. The dials are interesting and complicated on these OYSTERS; this dial, having Arabic numerals, outer seconds track, inner mirrored, minute track, along with
sub-seconds is all original. This dial also has the rarer "Extra-Prima" curved print. This watch retains the original oyster patent
winding crown also in excellent shape. The caliber 59 (correctly signed) ROLEX under the dial) is accurate. These are very collectable WW2 military ROLEX watches! Only $1395.
